Well, that's a rather backhanded comment.

Transfers are not something to be afraid of and usually either speed things up or increase frequency. I would encourage you to read this. https://humantransit.org/2009/04/why-tra...-city.html
But…
Conestoga College → the 10 and the 110 connect to Fairway Station
Forest Glen Plaza → the 22, 33, and 201 connect to Block Line Station, the 12 connects to Fairway Station, the 12→Fairway Station and the 205+3→ Mill Station also bracket Country Hills, Country Hills West, and Williamsburg
Ira Needles/Boardwalk → the 204+1 to Queen and Frederick Stations, the 20 to Central Station, the4 to Grand River Hospital Station, the 5 to Waterloo Public Square and Caroline Stations.
Beachwood & Laurelwood → the 13, 29, 31 to UW station
And here I'm just going to stop and tell you to look at the damn maps yourself. You didn't know the numbers and you obviously don't know the network, so might I suggest that you go try a little self-education before you want to make complaints that only make you look ignorant?
